Moderator Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 There is a piece of legislation making its way in the United Kingdom's Parliament. It's called A Bill to Make Provision about Procurement. It can be tracked at Parliamentary Bills, UK Parliament. Feel free to check it out and "perfect" it as you see fit.

Vern Edwards Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I scanned Part 3 — Award of public contracts and procedures, Chapter 2 — Competitive award, and at first glance like what I saw better than the corresponding parts of FAR Part 15. Unlike our FAR, it's well-written for a regulation (no surprise, the British) and seems to give contracting officials a lot of discretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerfed Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Interesting that concession contracts are defined at the beginning. I know European countries use them for things like building roads, constructing buildings, establishing and maintaining waterways, etc. Maybe that’s something we should consider.

Moderator Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I've read some comments on the UK's proposed procurement legislation and, to some extent, the comments reminded me of our 1984. Remember, the UK is starting over after they left the EU. Here are some comments from the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition. You will see references to the "Green Paper."
